@Ricco99100 NO william conrad is in no way related to bob conrad bob conrads real name is conrad falk he is short and he picks fight with cops and 6 foot actors like peter breck and gets beaten
Cannon and The Streets of San Fran., can be seen on MEtv (Memorable Entertainment Television) is like what TV Land used to be; check MEtv's website for city,state,days,time,and channels.
Saw the pilot film, which was really good, when it first aired. Later was happy to hear it was going to be a series, but was a bit let down. The series was never as good. Would really like to see this pilot film again -- been waiting since 1970.
@1560438 vera miles had a restaurant that only served steak and mashed patatoes in the man who shot liberty valance then liberty valance walks in knocks a guy out of his chair and eats his mashed potatoes and steak before that he robbed the stage coach and sez to the lawyer "law ill give you law ill give western law "and ripps up his law books
@clarapeller100 there was a 2 part streets of sampans disco san franchisco san fransisco episode that listed in alphabetical order but nobody that big
Quinn Martin went to Fred Silverman saying "I've got William Conrad interested in doing a detective series", Silverman agreed to order a pilot. Reportedly in the middle of showing the completed pilot to Silverman, Martin noticed he looked odd and asked what was wrong. Silverman said, "Who the hell is this fat guy running around, and where the hell's Robert Conrad?" :)
@garrisonskunk william conrad didnt get the part of matt dillion on gunsmoke after doing the radio version because he was to fat but he was great with dialog
great TV from a bygone era. He drove a Lincoln Mark IV for most of the series, save the last year when he had a Thunderbird

Wonderful series...this one....I've never solved the question...Was he Robert Conrad's father? I've heard both ways.

Interesting that the opening sequence changed. Luckily, the theme music did not.

They had some major stars in this one, must be why they had to say point out they were listed in "alphabetical order"

That's a heck of a guest cast. And it's neat that J.D. Cannon shows up in the first episode of Cannon.
